How To Store Internal Hard Drives?

mike writes "I have been ripping all my movies and TV shows for easy viewing through a media PC. Because I would rather not rip everything again I'm looking for a simple backup solution. I'm considering a hard drive dock and several internal hard drives to use as 'disks' to back things up every once in a while but I don't know what the best way to store internal drives would be in the meantime. Could they sit together in any empty box and be OK, or would a number of externals be worth the slightly higher cost with fewer worries about storing them in the meantime?"

Me neither. Mainly because the OP's question doesn't make any sense. Consider his opening sentence: "I have been ripping all my movies and TV shows for easy viewing through a media PC"

If that's true, then he already has backups. He has the original DVDs. Those are his backups if the PC HDD dies. That's how I operate, storing-away my DVDs in a safe secure place, and the only time I backup my TV shows is when I've stolen.....er, downloaded them off the net. Otherwise the original DVDs are my primary backup.
